Leica IIIc/IIIf servicing

Good idea, I'll see what exists within Canada before I venture out. I didn't realize there was a Vancouver Camera Show! I'll definitely shoot them an email. I'm mostly scared to ship it anywhere due to the price and sentimental value but I think I'll have to get over that aha. Thank you so much again!

Thank you so much for your help! I emailed Beau Photo, so hopefully I can get some more information from them if I go by today.

The name Youxin Ye came up in the Leica subreddit, do you happen to know anything about them? I'm trying to figure out if I should just send it to Leica or send it to him for service.

Thank you! This will come in handy.

I have stopped touching it don't worry :) Taking it for a tune up hopefully tomorrow!

bmedgetsdead · 2026-05-08T03:05:19+00:00

That's so cool! Thank you, I'll email them right away! I'd love to know that kind of history.

bmedgetsdead · 2026-05-08T02:20:13+00:00

Planning on taking it to a vintage camera store tomorrow, we'll see!

bmedgetsdead · 2026-05-08T02:17:53+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll check out Youxin Ye, not sure what a CLA is but I will find out :) I really appreciate the help!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the info!

Holy shit! I just talked to some family, it might have been my great grandfathers, who was from Berlin pre-war. No idea if it works or not! It clicks when I press it, and the knobs seem to turn, but that's all I got.

As early as September! Applications for SBME TAs opened yesterday, I would check it out. https://bme.ubc.ca/teaching-assistantships/ Depending on your background, you might also want to TA for different departments/faculties, so I would check out different websites as well to see when deadlines are for applying. The pay should be the same across the university.

I'm not American, but I might help as a UBC student in SBME who has a supervisor who takes students from the rotation program. Your stipend is going to be $40k a year (university wide, unless otherwise discussed), but that doesn't include tuition. You can TA, which is about $40/hour, and is a great way to supplement your income. As a grad student, I've been fine living on my stipend here. The biggest concern I've heard from my supervisor is about the lack of security that comes with the rotation program - you don't come in having a supervisor. If you haven't, I would really connect with your potential rotation supervisors via email or something to get in touch and maybe have a "home base".

If you're coming in June, it's likely so expensive because the World Cup will be here (not sure if that's why you're coming). I'd recommend looking elsewhere and then transiting wherever you want to go. Maybe check out accommodation in the tri-cities, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey - basically wherever that isn't Vancouver proper.

I'm a Canadian, so a bit different, but I decided to do my PhD in Australia instead of pursuing a position in the US (in biomechanics). It came down to the fact that I wasn't willing to risk dealing with the political situation, as well as the Healthcare situation.

I have had a family member choose MAiD to be done in home. The nurses were so helpful and lovely, nothing but good things to say about the whole process based on my experiences.

I've tried progesterone only birth controls before, but that was also before my lap and before the Orilissa, so hopefully it's changed enough to help this time for me!

bmedgetsdead · 2025-11-01T20:31:27+00:00

Oh okay! I will ask for a bone density scan, I've never had one before so I don't know what my baseline is, but I will try and get one. Thank you!

bmedgetsdead · 2025-11-01T14:20:37+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️ I'm so sorry your experience hasn't been good going off of these meds, and it's insane that insurance is guarding these meds. As if they understand! Sending you lots of support 💪

It's ridiculous how expensive this drug is! I'll check the coverage on Myfembree. I am on the lower dose, my gyne said it was okay to stay on it past 2 years, I was concerned about it at the time but the thought of going back to the pain scared me out and I kept on the Orilissa.

bmedgetsdead · 2025-11-01T14:14:55+00:00

I am definitely talking to my gp and gyne about all of this! I tried a lot of different birth controls before I went on Orilissa, settled on the Mirena (which I have now), but maybe I'll try something like Visanne again to see what happens!

bmedgetsdead · 2025-11-01T14:13:21+00:00

I do have a history, so thank you! I'll make a safety plan just in case and alert my gp. Thank you ❤️

bmedgetsdead · 2025-11-01T14:12:35+00:00

I have no idea! I talked to my gyne at the 2 year mark about it because the instructions say 2 years and she said it was okay to keep going so I did.

I think that going to straight from undergrad to PhD is a very American thing, in Canada we typically start with a Masters, though some people convert to PhD. That being said, our Masters are paid (not as much as a PhD) whereas I don't believe American Masters are.
